An entitled Karen threatens to have an employee deported after her stupid kid breaks merchandise

0:04.9

at their store, claiming that she shouldn't have to pay for it and that she refuses to be liable

0:09.6

for anything that got broken. Here's what happened. So I live in a city in the United Kingdom

0:14.7

that's in no shortage of entitled people. I have my own stories, including one or two I've posted

0:19.6

before, but this one was on another level. Close to the high street and the malls is a shop that
